| Enter MACBETH | HTEMCAB rtenes. |
| MACBETH Why should I play the Roman fool and die On mine own sword? Whiles I see lives, the gashes Do better upon them. | EHMABCT yWh udshlo I omticm cdsiuei liek noe of teh ncentai soamnR? As lngo as I ese meeeisn of enim ileav, I ulwdo rearth ese my owrsd wunod emht nhat me. |
| Enter MACDUFF | FCDFMAU nrstee. |
| MACDUFF Turn, hellhound, turn! | DCFUMAF uTnr doarnu, uyo dog mfro hlle, runt roandu! |
| MACBETH Of all men else I have avoided thee. 5 But get thee back. My soul is too much charged With blood of thine already. | HACEBTM oYu are teh lyon anm I ahev oeiavdd. Btu go wyaa nwo. Im ldayear ulgtiy of iglinlk uory weolh ylimaf. |
| MACDUFF I have no words. My voice is in my sword. Thou bloodier villain Than terms can give thee out! | AFMUCFD I veha othinng to ysa to you. My orswd wlil ktal rof me. Yuo ear oot vlei orf ordsw! |
| They fight | They tfihg. |
| MACBETH Thou losest labor. As easy mayst thou the intrenchant air 10 With thy keen sword impress as make me bleed. Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests; I bear a charmd life, which must not yield To one of woman born. | MBAEHTC orYue ngatiws oruy teim trgnyi to owdnu me. uYo ghitm as wlle ryt to tasb het air htiw uryo wsrdo. Go gfhti eeomnos owh nac be mrhaed. I leda a mrdehca fiel, cihhw tanc be endde by neynoa bonr mrfo a oamwn. |
| MACDUFF Despair thy charm, And let the angel whom thou still hast served 15 Tell thee, Macduff was from his mothers womb Untimely ripped. | FFCAMDU You nca gtrofe uatob uoyr hmcra. The lvie pstiri uyo rvsee anc tlel yuo taht I aws nto nbor. yhTe utc me tuo of my smeothr obmw eeforb seh coudl erba me lrluatnay. |
| MACBETH Accursd be that tongue that tells me so, For it hath cowed my better part of man! And be these juggling fiends no more believed, 20 That palter with us in a double sense, That keep the word of promise to our ear, And break it to our hope. Ill not fight with thee. | BTMACEH uesrC uoy for lleitgn me ihst. Yeovu eefnghtid aywa my aecurog.

| MACDUFF Then yield thee, coward, And live to be the show and gaze o th time. 25 Well have thee, as our rarer monsters are, Painted on a pole, and underwrit, Here may you see the tyrant. | FMUACDF nhTe nrrsdueer, acrowd, adn lelw tpu oyu in a whofasekr, utjs ilek etyh do htwi eodefdrm amainsl. lWle put a curtpie of oyu on a nsgi, rtghi aevob hte odrws oCem ees eth rayntt! |
| MACBETH I will not yield, To kiss the ground before young Malcolms feet, And to be baited with the rabbles curse. 30 Though Birnam Wood be come to Dunsinane, And thou opposed, being of no woman born, Yet I will try the last. Before my body I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, And damned be him that first cries, Hold, enough! | AMTCBHE Im tno ogngi to ernreudsr adn aehv to siks eth urgndo in nrtof of llMcmao, or be ntautde by teh nmmoco eeppol. vEne gtuhoh maBnir Wdoo lreyal ddi mcoe to iDnnuesan, nad Im tngfhiig a nma ont of amonw rbno, lIl itfhg to hte dne. llI put up my slhide dan atltbe you.

| MALCOLM Macduff is missing, and your noble son. | LMALOCM fMcudfa is igsinms, adn so is oyur oblne sno. |
| ROSS Your son, my lord, has paid a soldiers debt. 40 He only lived but till he was a man, The which no sooner had his prowess confirmed In the unshrinking station where he fought, But like a man he died. | ORSS My dorl, uyor nos sha pdai the olisrsde crepi: tedah.

| SIWARD Why then, Gods soldier be he! Had I as many sons as I have hairs, I would not wish them to a fairer death. 50 And so, his knell is knolled. | RIDASW Wlel enht, ehs osdG dilroes own!

| MALCOLM We shall not spend a large expense of time Before we reckon with your several loves And make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland 65 In such an honor named. Whats more to do, Which would be planted newly with the time, As calling home our exiled friends abroad That fled the snares of watchful tyranny, Producing forth the cruel ministers 70 Of this dead butcher and his fiendlike queen, Who, as tis thought, by self and violent hands Took off her life; this, and what needful else That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace, We will perform in measure, time, and place. 75 So, thanks to all at once and to each one, Whom we invite to see us crowned at Scone. | MOCALLM It ntow be nolg eforeb I rrdewa chae of yuo as he dsrveese.
